Analyzing Microclimates: The Impact of Wind Speed on Temperature

This fieldwork study investigates the relationship between wind speed and temperature across seven locations including a multi-storey carpark, garden, and open spaces. Data was collected over two days using a data logger to measure temperature and wind speed. Initial findings indicate a slight decrease in temperature with increasing wind speed, but the changes were minimal and not statistically significant. Challenges included rapid temperature increases during measurements and missed data points due to variable wind conditions. The experience highlighted the importance of hands-on geography education outside the classroom.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Microclimate Fieldwork @ HCI Matthew Ng, Lorcan Murphy, Brendon Koh, Soo Yong Gene 2i1

  2. Hypothesis The slower the wind-speed, the higher the temperature of the location.

  3. Data Collection • 7 locations: Top floor of Multistorey carpark, Garden outside printing centre, Open space between canteen and Block C, Terraces, Field, Running Track and Fountain outside General Office • Day 1: 22/1/14, 8.24am to 8.57am • Day 2: 28/1/14, 8.03am to 8.36am • Use of data logger for measuring temperature and wind speed

  4. A: Top floor of Multi Storey carpark B: Garden outside printing centre C: Open space between canteen and Block C D: Terraces E: Field F: Running Track G: Fountain area outside General Office Graph

  5. Data Analysis • Highest temperature: 26.6oC • Lowest temperature: 25.75oC • Highest wind speed: 1.9 • Lowest wind speed: 0.5 • Graph shows a decrease in temperature as wind speed increases, but the decrease is very minute (less than 0.1oC) and cannot be considered as significant

  6. Problems Faced • The wind is gone before we are able to measure both the temperature and the wind speed • The temperature rose very quickly during the period of testing, leading to inaccurate statistics

  7. Reflection All in all… • The experience was fun • It was interesting to work with the apparatus • It was refreshing to learn Geography outside of the classroom and actually experience the fieldwork process of Geography.

  8. Further Questions • Is the surrounding vegetation or building structure a key factor in affecting the temperature of the location. • Will the location have a higher temperature if it receives a greater amount of sunlight? • Will the temperature of the location be higher if there is more human traffic?
